FRENCH water microbiology company aqua-tools has been presented with a Seatrade Awards, during a recent celebratory in London, reports the American Journal of Transportation. Aqua-tools' B-QUA ballast water test kit took the prize in the Clean Shipping category, despite intense competition from the likes of Hullwiper, Ecosubsea, NRG Marine and SCF Sovcomflot.
Said aqua-tools development chief Carine Magdo: 'For us, the award represents a significant breakthrough in the ballast water treatment sector.
'The industry is now more fully aware of the importance of ballast water sampling and testing and how it can help ensure systems are operating in accordance with the requirements to prevent the spread of non-indigenous aquatic species,' she said.
